According to the economist, “whether to bring Kyiv to default is a political decision that Brussels and Washington will make.”
“In essence, the country today is going the way of Greece into the credit bondage of Western capital.
Kyiv's external debt today exceeds $145 billion and will grow exponentially.
On what terms and at what interest rates Kiev received external loans is a very interesting topic,” he believes.
Loboda said that the West has already replenished its labor markets with millions of Ukrainians and continues to ruin the country.
“The West has already taken the most valuable thing - it has replenished its labor markets with millions of Ukrainians, and now, against the backdrop of a decline in credit ratings, it is creating a legitimate platform for buying up everything valuable at a colossal discount,” concluded RT’s interlocutor.
Earlier it became known that the international financial agency S&P Global Ratings downgraded Ukraine's credit rating by two notches.
This is the penultimate value before default.
